If you do an MSD conversion you can use the coil. You can swap the seats over if they're in better shape.

If you get a gsl-se, you can swap over the short block easily by just using all of the external gsl-se parts and gain some more power and revs from your s5 motor if it runs. I'm doing this with an s4 engine and there was a noticable difference in acceleration and power.

you can use the front suspension for the bigger brakes and 5 lug,with rack and pinion if you are up for that much work. the only down fall is ya gotta fill and drill those rear axles for the 5 lug.
